 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The technical solutions according to the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

First Embodiment

The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display control method applied in an electronic device. Functions of the display control method may be implemented by a processor in the electronic device invoking program codes. The program codes may be stored in a computer storage medium. Thus, the electronic device includes at least a processor and a storage medium.

The electronic device in the present embodiment may be a Personal Computer (PC) which is a stationary electronic device, or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a table computer, or a notebook computer which is a portable electronic device. The electronic device may also be an intelligent mobile terminal such as smart phone.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a display control method according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the display control method comprises the following steps.

In step 101, a preview instruction for a new desktop theme is acquired.

It should be noted herein that the preview instruction in the present embodiment may be generated in different manners depending on the type of the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is a conventional personal computer and an input device is a mouse, the preview instruction may be acquired by a user clicking on a display screen with the mouse. When a display device of the electronic device (for example, an smart mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer which uses a touch display screen) is a touch display screen, the preview instruction may be acquired through a touch operation implemented by an operation body which may be a finger, a stylus or the like. It should be illustrated that the manner in which the preview instruction is generated may be defined by those skilled in the art. For example, the preview instruction may be generated by a user clicking on a key with a mouse to specify and trigger the key, or the preview instruction may be generated by a user touching a specified region of an interface with a finger to specify and trigger a key. In a specific implementation, the present disclosure is not limited to the manners according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The preview instruction may also be acquired by those skilled in the art in various conventional manners, which therefore will not be described herein. It can be seen from the above description that in addition to the display screen, the electronic device further comprises an input device, and when the electronic device uses a touch display screen (a touch screen), the input device and the display screen of the electronic device are integrated as a whole.

In step 102, a response is made to the preview instruction.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, making a response to the preview instruction in step 102 comprises the following steps.

In step 1021, a theme data package of the new desktop theme is acquired.

Here, in the present embodiment, each desktop theme has a theme data package. The theme data package comprises various parameters and data required for configuration of the desktop theme.

In step 1022, at least one icon carried on a desktop interface which is currently displayed on a display screen of an electronic device is acquired.

In step 1023, a body which carries the at least one icon is temporarily changed from a first identification picture to a second identification picture based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme.

The first identification picture is different from the second identification picture herein.

In order to facilitate the preview based on the current desktop and icons on the desktop, the body which carries the at least one icon is temporarily changed from the first identification picture to the second identification picture, so as to determine whether the new desktop theme is suitable for the current desktop and the icons on the desktop.

In practical applications, the step 1021 and the step 1022 may be performed in any order, i.e., an order of acquiring a theme data package and acquiring at least one icon is not limited herein.

In practical applications, the method may further comprise temporarily changing, based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme, a shape of the body which carries the at least one icon. For example, a body which carries an original desktop theme is in a circular shape, and a body which carries the new desktop theme is changed to a rectangular shape.

In practical applications, the method may further comprise temporarily changing, based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme, a background picture of the body which carries the at least one icon.

Second Embodiment

Based on the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display control method applied in an electronic device. Functions of the display control method may be implemented by a processor in the electronic device invoking program codes. The program codes may be stored in a computer storage medium. Thus, the electronic device includes at least a processor and a storage medium.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a display control method according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the display control method comprises the following steps.

In step 301, a preview instruction for a new desktop theme is acquired.

In step 302, an operation trajectory of an operation body is acquired through a sensor of the electronic device.

In the present embodiment, a touch display screen (a touch screen) may be used as a sensor.

The operation trajectory of the operation body may be a trajectory produced by a user's finger sliding on a touch screen.

In step 303, a response is made to the preview instruction in real time based on the operation trajectory.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, making a response to the preview instruction in real time based on the operation trajectory in step 303 comprises the following steps.

In step 3031, a theme data package of the new desktop theme is acquired.

In step 3032, a preview region including the operation trajectory on the display screen is determined based on the operation trajectory.

In step 3033, a first portion of the corresponding desktop interface within the preview region on the display screen and an icon carried on the first portion are acquired.

In step 3034, the second identification picture corresponding to the icons carried on the first portion is determined from the theme data package based on the icon carried on the first portion.

In step 3035, the first identification picture for the icons carried on the first portion is temporarily changed to the second identification picture.

The first portion of the desktop interface and the icon carried on the first portion have a preview display effect of the new desktop theme, and a second portion of the desktop interface except for the first portion and icons carried on the second portion have a display effect of an old desktop theme which is different from the new desktop theme.

It should be pointed out herein that the preview display effect of the new desktop theme is also different from the display effect of the old desktop theme.

In practical applications, the method may further comprise temporarily changing, based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme, a background picture of the first portion.

The embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

FIG. 5 illustrates a desktop interface which is currently displayed on a display screen of an electronic device. In practical applications, a new desktop theme enters the display screen based on a preview instruction, and as a finger slides, the new desktop theme gradually covers a region of the screen where the finger slides, as shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is merely an example, and a direction in which the finger slides, a region where the finger slides or the like are not limited in the present embodiment. In practical applications, the finger may also slide horizontally, diagonally, or in a direction from bottom to top within the touch screen. It is easily reached that in practical applications, an effective region may also be set in the touch screen, and a sliding trajectory is effective only in the effective region.

Specifically, a body which carries icons within a region where a finger slides is temporarily changed from a first identification picture to a second identification picture based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme.

The method may further comprise changing, based on the theme data package of the new desktop theme, a shape of the body which carries the icons within the region where the finger slides.

In practical applications, the old desktop theme may be maintained in a region of the screen where the finger does not slide. In this way, the display effects of the new desktop theme and the old desktop theme may be compared by a user, so as to select a suitable desktop theme.

It should be pointed out herein that if the operation body leaves before arriving at a specified position, the preview instruction is no longer performed, and the first identification picture for the icons is recovered at this time. In this way, when the user is not satisfied with the previewed new desktop theme, the preview operation may be stopped at any time. Then, another new desktop theme may be previewed again.

Third Embodiment

Based on the above embodiments, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display control method applied in an electronic device. Functions of the display control method may be implemented by a processor in the electronic device invoking program codes. The program codes may be stored in a computer storage medium. Thus, the electronic device includes at least a processor and a storage medium.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a display control method according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the display control method comprises the following steps.

In step 701, an operation trajectory of an operation body is acquired through a sensor of the electronic device.

In step 702, it is determined whether the operation trajectory of the operation body which is acquired through the sensor of the electronic device satisfies a first predetermined condition.

In step 703, the preview instruction for the new desktop theme is generated when the operation trajectory satisfies the first predetermined condition.

Here, the first predetermined condition may be a condition that a specified sliding manner is performed in a specified region or the like.

In step 704, it is determined whether the operation trajectory of the operation body which is acquired through the sensor of the electronic device satisfies a second predetermined condition, wherein the second predetermined condition is a condition that the operation body does not leave the display screen while the first predetermined condition is satisfied.

It should be pointed out herein that if the operation body leaves before arriving at a specified position, the preview instruction is no longer performed, and the first identification picture for the icons is recovered at this time. In this way, when the user is not satisfied with the previewed new desktop theme, the preview operation may be stopped at any time. Then, another new desktop theme may be previewed again.

In step 801, an operation trajectory of an operation body is acquired through a sensor of the electronic device.

In step 802, it is determined whether the operation trajectory of the operation body which is acquired through the sensor of the electronic device satisfies a first predetermined condition.

In step 803, the preview instruction for the new desktop theme is generated when the operation trajectory satisfies the first predetermined condition.

In step 804, it is determined whether the operation trajectory of the operation body which is acquired through the sensor of the electronic device satisfies a second predetermined condition, wherein the second predetermined condition is a condition that the operation body does not leave the display screen while the first predetermined condition is satisfied.

In step 805, it is determined, based on the operation trajectory of the operation body which is acquired through the sensor of the electronic device, a cancel instruction for canceling preview of the new desktop theme or a change instruction for changing the old desktop theme to the new desktop theme for preview.

Step 805 further includes determining whether the operation trajectory satisfies a third predetermined condition: generating the cancel instruction when the operation trajectory does not satisfy the third predetermined condition, and generating the change instruction when the operation trajectory satisfies the third predetermined condition.

The third predetermined condition is a condition that operation parameters generated by the operation body when the operation body leaves the display screen satisfy a particular condition while the first predetermined condition is satisfied.

It should be noted herein that the particular condition may comprise a condition that a position where the operation body leaves is in a particular region, for example, at the bottom of the screen; a condition that a distance of the operation trajectory generated by the operation body when the operation body leaves is approximately equal to that of a long side of the display screen; a condition that the position where the operation body leaves is lower than the lowest row of icons on the desktop, or the like.

FIG. 9 illustrates a desktop interface in which an old desktop theme is changed to a new desktop theme. After a user comprehensively previews a display effect of changing the old desktop theme to the new desktop theme, if the user is satisfied with the display effect, the operation body of the user may leave from a particular region. In this way, the old desktop theme is directly changed to the new desktop theme, which is convenient for change of a desktop theme.

In practical applications, a first background sound may be made when a finger slides, and a second background sound may be made when the finger arrives in a particular region, so as to prompt the user that the finger may be released to change the desktop theme.
